Donald Murray

Assuming I was a "professional writer," and I never had the privledge to meet Mr. Donald Murray, after reading his last few published articles and his obituary I would have to assume that I would gain a major respect for "real-life" writing. Mr. Murray published many articles about his late wife, that came down with a major illness. He wrote about his strugles with the illness and how it afftected his life and lives over others, without actually pronouncing to the world that it was all happening in his life. I learned that I would rather write about the "real-life" scenarios that actually affect me as well as the many other people in this world. Murray's words helped me realize that life is about the trials and tribulations of other peoples lives in the world and he sent out a sense of warming to the world through the Boston Globe unprenounced to everyone else.
